What we do

Tribal Health Initiative views health as a state of mental, social and economic well-being and not the mere absence of disease. Our health interventions go beyond merely providing curative and preventive medical services. We see our farming and craft initiatives as being directly connected to maintaining health and well-being in the communities we serve. This is supported by the Educational Initiative, Thulir .

Our health outreach programme provides simple curative, preventive and ambulance services to 33 villages in the Sittilingi valley and the Kalrayan Hills. This programme caters to a tribal population of 16000 tribals.

The Craft Initiative enables local Lambadi women to become economically self-reliant while preserving their traditional embroidery. Their products are sold under the brand name Porgai, which means ‘pride’ in their dialect.
